Dolly Parton's soft endorsement of Sarah Palin

"I always say we're very much alike," says the normally bipartisan Parton. Parton goes on to tell "Extra": "(We're) both small town girls, both a Pentecostalism and we both carry an AK-47."

Maybe the connection goes deeper. She did sing the title song from the movie "Straight Talk." I wonder whether we'll start seeing Dolly's picture on the Straight Talk Express or hearing these lyrics slipping into Palin's speeches:

'Cause I like to know just where I stand, I don't like guessing games And I hate a bunch of gibberish, so just spit it out real plain Don't use big educated words from your BS Degree Straight talk, straight talk -- don't try B.S.-ing me
